them steamboats, may penetrate through
lands teeming with people to the very
heart of the continent. Stanley himself
has hardly tasted deeper of the
glories of first-hand exploration than
the half-dozen men who are COM
pleting his work in the Congo valley.
1t was a great discovery that Wissmann
made nearly two years ago during his
progress down the Kassai when he
proved that five large rivers, all known
in their upper courses, instead of join
ing the Congo separately, turn westward,
unite in one great stream and so move on
to the Congo. De Soto on the Missis-
sippi was hardly more picturesque
figure than Wissmann amid the fleet of
Bulabas, who, led by their queen, fol-
lowed him in their canoes 900 miles down
the Kassai to Stanley Pool. These tall,
stalwart, fellows, nearly 300 in number,
chanting at their paddles, made the foresl
ring with praises of the white men, a race
they had never seen before. Wissmann
had pushed inland to the Upper
Kassai, intending to float down the
river to its mouth. He discovered
this great Bulaba tribe, who welcomed
him as Heaven-sent blessing and offered
to escort him wherever he wished to go.
He found himself among people who
ten or twelve years before had abolished
fetishism and witch doctors as humbugs,
who had declared drunkenness a crime
and had prohibited the making of palm
wine, and who believed in a God who
lived in the sky and to whom they ex-
pected to go, after death. A fleet of
Bulaba canoes was launched on the river,
and led by the white men they started
on their long voyage.
For a month they floated down the
great river, which, much to Wissmann's
surprise, bore him far to the west. They
passed through ever new countries, rich
and fertile, meeting one hostile and many
friendly tribes, and at last they reached
the Congo and Stanley Pool. Napoleon's
famous guards never sprang more
swiftly to do the bidding of the Emperor
than the natives to obey the slightest
look of their queen. Missionary Whit
ley says she is striking-looking woman,
with queenly bearing, and he has seen
her, with q single wave of the hand,
arrest the maddest whirl of the dance
and impose silence upon her subjects as

THE wOMAN'S IDEAL.
Heroes of Fiction and the Real Men Of
the Everyday World.

An English writer, in criticising novelists
in general, remarks that the ideal heroes of
women are more picturesque and interesting
than those delineated by men, for the reason
that men are always striving to represent
consistency of character, while women give
little attention, comparatively, to this point
The idea, right or wrong, is worth the con-
sderation of the reader, who if much given
to works of fiction, will recall instances
which contradict the assertion powerfully.
When Charlotte Bronte, for instance, de-
sired leading male character for her Jane
Eyre" she did not create a nobleman of
vast estates, SO faultless in morals and de-
pertinent as to be without manly force or
manly muscle; on the contrary, she framed
her character from the man she was most
familiar with. Her fathers stern and I'M
relenting disposition, and her brothers
semi-brutality of nature, crept in as she
modelled Rochester. Treating those antago-
nistic elements of strength and weakness
the idealization came from her own starving
heart.
1t is the fortune of some women novelists
to know a class of troubadour-like men,
who, while not quite effeminate in charac-
ter, yet Just escape being "sweet." How
deftly have they been initiated with celestial
air." and pushed forward to round out q
plot, or, used as "objects," have served to
show what can be done with natures odds
and ends and thrums! Other women novel
lists know of sterner stuff: men never to be
leveled off except by the ebb and flow of hard
fortune, and yet, while proving that
The hero is not fed on sweets,
Daily his own heart he eats,
tba,, finally succun, h IN tha t in fiuanca which
has made many brave man avert his
eyes from a girl, and carry a rosebud into
battle.
Women, as a rule, write complete book
from disjointed studies, as artists make a
landscape from sketches. Associations and
surroundings supply the general features OF
the work, the freshness of both contributing
greatly to the production of striking charac-
ter The ability 10 individuahze and give
action to ideal conceptions is really how
ever, the test of all fiction-wri4'ne

Many people laughed at Stanley when
he said there were 1000 miles of navi-
gable waters above Stanley Pool. We
now know that there are at least
$500 miles of navigation above that
point, and that the mighty Congo, which
awhile ago was classed as sixth or
seventh among the great rivers, is second
only to the Amazon system in the extent
of its navigable waters, and in the vast
volume that it pours into the sea. One
map house in Europe last year had to
publish five different editions of its
map of the Congo basin, in order to
keep pace with the progress of dis
covery. What could surpass in sensa-
tional interest such discovery as DR..
Wolff made last year? For about two
months he steamed slowly and carefully
up an unknown water route leading to
the heart of the continent. His vessel
was the En- Avant, and picture of
this famous little boat is given in
the initial cut because it was the first
steamer ever launched on the Upper
Congo and has assisted in some of the most
remarkable discoveries. Up the Kassai
affluent pulled the En- Avant, turning at
last into its mighty branch, the Sankuru, a
grand river 1900 feet wide, which Wolff
assembled for nearly 500 miles, follow
ing q course nearly due east a little
south of four degrees south latitude.
Then when the Sankuru turned to the
south Wolff pushed up its Iona mi atflu-
ent, still steaming almost due east until
he had penetrated within few days
march by land of Nyangwe, famous
trading centre, almost exactly midway
between the Atlantic and Indian oceans
A navigable waterway still stretched
eastward, but an accident compelled
Wolff to turn down the stream again.
Wolff had discovered grand new flu
vial highway, subtending the great north
ern bend of the Congo, leading from the
Atlantic to Central Africa and inter-
rupted only by the cataracts in the lower
Congo, around which the railroad Is to
be built. He made this journey through a
densely -peopled region, where towns of
$4,000 inhabitants often line the river
banks. He estimated the population to
be as dense as in some parts of Germany.
OF the many thousands of people who
swarm over these fertile plains or range
through the great forests hardly scrap
of information had ever reached the out
side world, and these tribes had seen
none of the many products the white
man introduces into savage lands.
1t was supposed when Stanley wrote
his last book that the great tributaries Of

humble missionary and great traveller, who
has seen far more of the Congo basin than
any other white man. Just west of the
northern bend of the Congo, a few miles
south of the equator Stanley barely indi-
Gates the Mobangi river on his last map.
Grenfell, ascending the Mobangi less
than two years ago, practically proved
its identity with the Welle Makua of
Schweinfurth and its importance as the
largest tributary of the Congo. Grenfell
from the west and Junker from the east,
have now journeyed nearly 1, 400 miles on
this river, which, 400 miles from its
mouth, has as large a volume of water
as the Rhine or Danube emptying
into the sea. The significance of this
great discovery Is that boats from
Stanley Pool may ascend the Mobangi
almost to the boundary line between the
Nile and Congo systems. No one
dreamed two years ago that both north
and south of the Congo there were rivers
like the Mobangi and Sankuru affording
such splendid means of communication
with the far interior. Many bright tale
of adventure and discovery these ex-
plorers will tell when they write the story
of their travels. They will describe vii
lagos built on posts in lakes or swamps,
iihO 0lo uOuoCo VI ldhG
dwellers;" dwarfs, whose little towns are
scattered far and wide among the great
Balolo people south of the Congo; a
tribe who build their huts in trees;
frightened natives who attacked them
with iron-headed arrows three or four
feet long, that at distance of nearly
200 yards came with sufficient force
to pierce the stout canvas awnings of
the steamer. They will describe regions
that are more densely peopled than any
part of the Congos banks, and they will
tell of many villages that received them
with showers of arrows, but soon laid
down their arrows, sold them food and
fuel, and begged the visitors to send
white men to live among them.
Travellers have not yet exhausted the
romance of exploration. Many a tale of
recent research in the neglected corners
of the earth is as full of incident and in
terest as the quaint narrative that still
delights us of the days when Henry Hud-
son sailed into New York harbor and
Father Hennepin doated down the
"Father of Waters" G. G. ADAMS.

the Middle Congo followed, in the main,
a north and south direction. The big
gest surprise geographers have had for
many day was when Grenfell, Wiss-
mann and Wolff proved that some of
the greatest aifluents, like the Kassai, the
Sankuru, the Juapa and others flow hun
dreds of miles west before their waters
reach the Congo. Thus the Lomami
meets the Congo 800 miles west of the
point where Stanley in his last map con-
jectured its mouth to be, and the place
where he believed the great Kassai Joined
the Congo is 300 miles east of the real
point OF meeting. 1t results that the
chief tributaries are much lonyer than

in recent years have hardly been
surpassed in interest and import
ance except by the pioneers who ex-
plored our great land. The past three or
four years have added greater number
of remarkable facts to geographical
knowledge than any similar period for
two centuries. A very large part of
these facts have been gathered in the
Congo basin, and it is the purpose of this
article to describe some of the wonders
Of exploration that have recently come
to light in this vast region. No books
have yet been written upon the great
work that has been so quietly but
swiftly progressing. The explorers are
still too busy to write more than meagre
reports, but when the story is fully told
it will make one of the most interesting
chapters of diccouarv avar uritton
